Metal mesh evening bags in this condition — mesh intact, hardware fully functional — are harder to find than you'd think.
A 1980s clutch in black metal mesh with a structured dome silhouette. Diagonal stripes of gold-tone metal tiles cross the face in a geometric pattern, and the hardware throughout — frame clasp, chain strap, tassel pull — is gold-tone with a warm, slightly textured finish. The shoulder chain measures 108 cm, long enough to wear cross-body or doubled as a shorter shoulder strap.
The closure is a fold-over frame clasp at the top with a magnetic snap inside. The interior is lined in black.
Carries well for an evening out, a party, or anywhere that calls for something with presence but not bulk. The 108 cm chain means it sits at hip level cross-body, or loop it over the shoulder for a shorter drop. The size — 18 × 15 cm — fits a phone, cards, keys, and small essentials.
